Melesio Rodriguez

Mexican Silver Store is proud to offer handcrafted Melesio Rodriguez pieces, who was the head foreman for the silversmiths employed at the famous Margot De Taxco Silver shop in Taxco Mexico.

The Margot De Taxco Silver shop was owned by American artist Margot Van Voorhies Carr, and operated through the early to mid 1900s. The shop and its designs were well known throughout the world as many Hollywood personalities were adorned with these jewelry designs.

The Margot De Taxco Silver shop closed its doors in the mid 1950s.

Today Melesio Rodriguez resides on his ranch, atop a mountain on the outskirts of Taxco. He continues to produce stunning handcrafted artisan jewelry using techniques that are over a century old.
